Is it just me or is this butt ugly?

I hate painted brick...hate it.

Looks like they buried one of these in the ground and built around it:

Saw the capacity is 16,000. Didn't realize it was going to be that big.

It may be around 16,000 for some events like concerts. However, for basketball, the capacity will be under 15,000. This is from one of the press releases:
The $179 million arena project was approved by voters in May 2010. Pinnacle Bank Arena is expected to open in the fall of 2013. UNL basketball will be the main tenant of the 470,400-square-foot facility, which can hold nearly 15,000 fans for Husker hoops.
I really hate Penn State! (And I'm not that wild about Iowa either.)

Ok. I just saw a little caption on the OWH website that listed total capacity at 16,000. 14,500-15,000 would seem about right.

That's why I thought 16,000 seemed kinda high. However the first couple of years will get the people out. They won't sell out every game, but the majority of conference games they should those first two years.

Is the seating high enough to ever host a NCAA men's first round?

While I would have preferred a more field house look

I think that this arena is sharp. I really like the look of the interior.

Now if we can just get a coach that will be able to take advantage of it.

If the BOB could host it...the Pinn can host.

I think that is incorrect. The Qwest had to add seats to get up to 17k I think before the Qwest would even be considered if I recall correctly.

I'm unsure of the seating requirement, but the NCAA requires so many hotel rooms in X number of miles of each site to be eligible to host events (and perhaps other logistical requirements). I think that is why the Devaney no longer hosts NCAA Tournament games.

I think that's correct. The new arena and the 2 new hotels downtown may be enough to qualify, but without knowing the specifics I am kind of thinking it won't.

yep. and as Impaler mentioned, we have added more hotel rooms so we might be able to host in the future...and the QWEST does have a few opening round dates coming up in the next few years.
